This time there will be entertainment with a group of tap dancers from Taree called the Broadway Tap Dancing Group.

The Upper Lansdowne Fire Pitt Picnic is on tonight Friday, June 2 at the hall. Soup and bread rolls is on the menu.

The Upper Lansdowne social craft group raised $1000 at their Biggest Morning Tea last week. Although numbers attending the morning tea were lower than usual they still had a great day.

The money raised will be sent to the Cancer Council.

The next item on the calendar is the Scissor Man coming to the Upper Lansdowne Hall on Thursday, June 15.  He will sharpen knives, garden tools, hand tools and scissors for $6 per item.  

Upper Lansdowne locals Dorothy and Peter Green have crossed off one of the thing on their “bucket list”.

Dorothy, Peter, their son Jacob and his girlfriend Danielle Butler travelled to the Hunter Valley a few days ago and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel overnight. The next morning, which was very chilly at 5.30am, they boarded a hot air balloon for a flight above the Hunter Valley.

They thoroughly enjoy the flight and the views were magnificent. When back on land they were taken for a wonderful champagne breakfast.

Dorothy told me that it was a wonderful experience and she was so glad that they had done the flight.

Lansdowne Friday evening social darts results were: Donna Fowler and Danny Dark first; Wayne Bell and Izzy Swan second, Merve Turner and Hettie Moran third.

Women’s highest score was won by Nellie Turner on 101 and men’s highest score was won by Wayne Bell on 121.
